His decision to wear a tie given to him by former executive chairman Nicola Cortese for the final game of the season against Manchester United was seen in some quarters as a farewell signal." Anyone been discussing the tie?!? Is this a new low in speculation?! Utterly ridiculous. Couldn't you also argue it was a sign he was tying himself to the club? .. or knot ?

doddisalegend Posted 15 May, 2014 Share Posted 15 May, 2014 I've got nothing earth shattering to add to this discussion really but just thought I'd share my thoughts. I can't help thinking that if Pochettino doesn't want to be here, then there really is no point keeping him against his will. If he was forced to carry on working as the Saints manager and his heart was no longer in it then I think it would be even worse for the team than letting him go. If he does want out and the players use that as there excuse to leave then so be it. The same could be said for keeping Adam and Luke if they don't want to be here. Obviously I would love to see him and all the players stick around and hope the board can do they can to persuade them all to stay and buy into there new vision for the club. But if Pochettino wants out then he isn't worth keeping. If the club does find itself looking for a new manager then I hope they can find someone who actually wants to stick around long term. I know its unlikely but it would be good if we could find a good manager who is not going to use us as a stepping stone to further their career. I know, I know, where do you find a person like that in todays game?? Its a shame Matthew Le Tissier doesn't want to be a manager. Former hero player turned coach very rarely works out. We all know it didn't go to well for Shearer with Newcastle and I know that its very unlikely it would work for Matt either. It just would be refreshing to have someone who actually genuinely cared for the club manage it, but I guess that doesn't really happen anymore in the modern game and can't be expected or even hoped for anymore. I think we had one of those he was called Nigel Adkins........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand it might just mean that you've only got 2 ties and the other one was in the wash. I still wear my OT's tie on occasions, doesn't mean I shall be sitting at a desk in Highfield come next monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 15 May, 2014 Share Posted 15 May, 2014 I do like Pochettino's style but wouldn't kid myself that he's superman. He's done OK for us but 8th place does mask the fact that we finished 8 points below the 7th team who sacked their manager for poor performance. Oh, and 13 goals worse off than them on Goal Difference, so it was a huge gulf and 23 points away from the top 4. I like the passing football that Pochettino has brought to the team and the possession tactics but he has struggled to turn possession into goals, which does seem to be a coaching issue. I would like Pochettino to stay, not because I think he's irreplaceable, because obviously he's not, but because he appears to be held in high regard by the squad and it would seem more likely that we will lose some of our best players if Pochettino leaves. But ultimately, does it matter? We have some more exceptional talent waiting in the development squad and in the u-18s. Targett, Gape, Rowe and others won't get a chance unless gaps appear in the first team and they will all be a year older this August than they were at the beginning of last season, so if it is to be a new manager and a couple of players are lost, I will regret it and I hope it doesn't happen, but it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Always in top 8, sometimes might get Europe, sometimes might be challenging champions league. But being in and around there each season would be my aim. I feel that we could definitely do a wee bit better with a really potent striker to play in tandem with JRod, on occasions our men have been far too wasteful for a really top side. Still think if we had a Suarez or Aguero we'd have made top 6. The number of times Mauricio has remarked on it tends to back up my view. Trouble is we'd need to find one at base level because not being in Europe denies us the possibility of signing such a player at the summit of his art.

How much of this could of been avoided if Osvaldo turned out to be the player we thought or the board brought in another ST in Jan ? J-Rods injury left us seriously short of a quality attacker and we didn't have anyone even close to that kind of player I love Lambert as much as the next man but he looked tired at certain points of the season,plus it was said he was carrying a few knocks as well,all we had was Gallagher and he hardly set the prem alight.

CanadaSaint Posted 15 May, 2014 Share Posted 15 May, 2014 There's a couple of questions surrounding all of this that I find rather interesting: 1) If the relationship between Cortese and Pochettino was as close as it was rumoured to be, and if Cortese had long been at loggerheads with Katharina (as he supposedly was), why didn't Cortese strike-out the (alleged) "two million pounds to leave" clause before he left or at least change it to one which only applied of he was still CEO? Granted, Katharina could have got him out of there too quickly for him to do it, but it would have been an understandable gesture for a (supposed) friend and a hell of a poison pill for Katharina. Sure, she could have sued him for "failing to act in the best interests of the corporation" but that would take a lot of proving in court. 2) Doesn't that period show that Pochettino is quite adept at posturing in his own best interests (as he may be over the potential Spurs move)? After all, when he threatened to quit if Cortese went, he must have known about the (alleged) "two million pounds to leave" clause, and he must also - therefore - have known that he wasn't going anywhere.

Window Cleaner Posted 15 May, 2014 Share Posted 15 May, 2014 (edited) I think the board are on to a bit of a hiding to nothing at the moment. Poccettino was fond of saying that he couldn't understand what all the fuss is about as he has one year left on his contract. Surely if he does not want to sign a new contract we should simply make it clear that we expect him to honour that contract, and then lets all just get on with it. Same as Lallana and Shaw. Certainly we should not let any of them go until we have replaced them. As far as I've seen there's nothing to say he isn't intending to honour his present contract, just doesn't seem to be falling over himself to sign a new one. Makes sense, no point in tying himself to the club if he's really unsure where it's going in years to come. Wenger let his contract run down to it's very end, he's staying with Arsenal all the same, Moyes hyad a 6 year contract and was sacked after just less than a year. We need to get our ducks in a row,if it hasn't been done already, and convince the manager that what will be available to him next season and those after that will allow him to reach 6th place next season and so on. I've no real anxiety about Lallana and Shaw being sold either, if it stops there and the replacements for them are of a decent quality and there's still some money left from those transfers for a real striker, a CB and a keeper. If all that comes to pass I shall be pleased, I've no great attachment to either Lallana or Shaw, good players, loyal servants but there are equally good players available.

Any manager they hire will get a salary and bring his salaried staff. When you think that Jardim has just cost Monaco in excess of 4 million £ and he's not even a top name then 2 million for MP is a snip. The great advantage to Spurs is that he just might be able to get something out of Lamela and Soldado with his style of play, losing any positive contribution from those 2 is going to cost them much more. I can see why he's attractive to them, his style might just make something of their 60 million £ investment plus whatever they've taken in salaries this year for a very limited contribution.

I have no idea, clubs can tap up a new manager without any reference to the incumbent so I doubt that would make any difference. Sherwood's brief was clear: CL or you're out so there would be no problem speaking with other managers. FdB said they did, DL said they didn't. Probably just confusion of who is acting for whom at the end of the day. Not even convinced that Mauricio is that keen on Spurs, he just doesn't want to find himself in crap street again with a bunch of academy rookies and the fans expecting him to maintain our status from this season. If he gets reasonable support from the board I think he'll still be here come August...Therein lies the question, how much is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
